AI-DRIVEN DOCUMENT MANAGEMENT THE ROLE OF INTELLIGENT DOCUMENT RECOGNITION (IDR) AND AUTOMATION

Abstract

As businesses continue to digitize, managing documents efficiently has become more important than ever. This paper looks at how Intelligent Document Recognition (IDR), powered by AI and automation, is changing the way organizations handle documents. IDR uses technologies like machine learning, natural language processing, and computer vision to read, sort, and pull useful information from all kinds of documents—whether they're structured forms or messy handwritten notes. By automating what used to be time-consuming manual tasks, companies can save time, reduce errors, and make faster decisions. We explore how IDR works, where it's being used today—from banking and healthcare to logistics and law—and what challenges organizations might face when adopting it. We also touch on the ethical side of automating sensitive data processing. In the end, the paper shows how IDR isn’t just a tool for efficiency—it’s a key part of building smarter, more adaptive document management systems for the future.
